  6. I just found one of the restaurant's wine menu's tucked into my mom's wedding album. Guess they went there at some point after. It says it's actually at 12 Adelaide East, Toronto, Empire 2-1251 ! $ 7.00 for a bottle of Bright's President champagne and $.70 ffor a shot of Scotch. Those were the days ! Also states a $ 1.00 cover charge Mon - Fri and $ 1.50 on weekends. There is a signed photo of the Deep River Boys inside and they have also signed the outside of the cocktail menu too. any takers ?
